Ahhhhhh, I missed you by a couple days, my bad.

I was going to recommend NOT buying the Rio. Yes they are incredibly efficient and quiet and low heat compared to Mag pumps. They also corrode very fast IMO. I had a Rio 20hf and it only lasted me for a year before the bearing corroded away to nothing.

I'd recommend taking it back in trade for a Mag 9.5, which is what I replaced mine with. Or a Mag 12 if you really need that much flow. Other wise, make sure you take it apart for regular cleanings.
